Culinary Delights

We lovingly serve delicious vegetarian gourmet meals using our own organic garden vegetables and herbs whenever possible. We buy organic grains, dried fruits, seeds, nuts and locally made sourdough breads. We grind our own flour to make scrumptious-tasting baked goodies with cold-pressed oil and free-range eggs. Wheat-free and ‘special’ diets are available upon request.

** If you have special dietary requirements, please inform us upon initial registration. **
